OTP - Reset password

Use this action to let a user set a new password after proving ownership of their email with a valid OTP (one‑time passcode). It verifies the code and updates the password automatically.

FIRST REQUEST A CODE

Before you can use this action, you must first use the Request code action to generate a code.

Example flow

1

Run the OTP – Request code action to generate a code, and set OTP Type: forget-password

2

In the On OTP requested trigger, send the reset code (such as via email with Resend/SendGrid, or SMS with Twilio)

3

After sending the code, allow the user to enter the code and a new password, then run the OTP – Reset password action
